A97366	Mercurius cambro-Britannus, the Brittish mercury, or, The Welch diurnall communicating remarkable intelligences and true newes to awle the whole kingdome... [27th November-5th December 1643]		1643 (1643)	Thomason E77_28; ESTC P1079	5,184	8

Prelacy or Barnaby Bishop and these being the Kings adopted Sonnes should together with the King rule the whole land And indeed the Newcastles Army is falling to pieces and therefore it had need to be joyned together with the Popish cement and glew of the Kings Army for there are many stones at Oxford as the Lord Cottington Digby and others besides Prelates that doe all joyne together to build up the Roman Church in England and would make the King the chiefe corner-stone but though earth conspire and joyne forces heaven can denounce their malignant purposes and Newcastles Army shall be beaten awle to pieces and upon the Scots advancing not a man of them shall goe Scot-free The towne of Plymmouth is very well and safe you may see by them what it is to have good in works that is good Heart for though they lost their Outworks yet her doe still keep out their enemy and make her for to pray to the Lady Mary and Saint Margery and yet they cannot help her to take the towne and the Parliament hath lately sent them ayde from hence so that Prince Rupert Prince Maurice and awle the Masse-saying-Prelates at Oxford may fling their caps at it Father Francis and Father Ioseph and all the Magicians in Oxford cannot conjure the gates of the towne open for like a Maiden Towne she doth withstand the Cavalliors and neither by force nor flattery can be wonne from the Parliament It is reported that Sir William Waller hath given the Lord Hopton a great overthrow and obtained a great victory against him but can believe no such matter those that are overthrowne horse and man in books are very well recovered the next week The warre is like a foot-ball-play where one side doth give the other a kind of overthrow and strikes up anothers heeles but presently they rise up and give the other as creat a blow againe Overthrowes are now very common but let awle well affected persons strive that Papistry and Prelacy may be overthrowne in this kingdome and let us pray that Peace may be againe established least this kingdome be ruinated by these overthrowes and besides what victory is it for one subject to kill another If the King would get a victory over himselfe and banish from him all malignant Counsellours then we should heare no more of Sir Ralph Hopton and many other Lords and Knights that now carry victory in their pockets and plunders whole Countries and burnes townes as the Kings forces did at Ockingham The Earle of Warwick doth desire of the Parliament forty small ships to surprise Sir Iohn Penningtons small frigots that doe bring over the Irish Rebells but who shall encounter those that are come over already and the King send ships dayly for more and as if his Subjects throates should not be cut sast enough he sends dayly for those Butchers The Irish faction doth indeed rule very much at Court and Rebels are in Oxford language called the Kings Catholick Subjects plundering Cavalliers are Royallists and Popish Bishops are the Kings Shaplins would his Majesty would provide ships to send them all away to Rome for here is no Roome for them in England and therefore it were a happy turne if they were hanged or drowned so that we were rid of their Popish company At Oxford there is creat plenty of food and cood dyet but while they feast they have by their plundering made the Country fast who doe curse them to the bottomlesse pit of hell but they need not doe so for if swearing and prophane living can bring them on they are in a faire way To refresh you after this tedious narration you may understand that at Oxford the Bishops are turned Souldiers and the Bishop of York hath got a company of souldiers to guard the Irish Rebells and to bring them on by the Grace of the Pope but her great preparations are but the fables of many reports who come on purpose to Oxford to joyne with the malignants for they have the Popes and the Kingdomes pardon Is this the calling of Bishops to turne fighters for Roome when they cannot preach for Roome nor put poore Ministers in prison without Roome now they will venter the Miter and goe on with courage they know neither either to the Divell or the Pope or both together There was a valliant German Ionas Adruskey called in English Van Drushe who having shewed the height of the High Germanes valour under the the Command of Sir William Waller received two shots in his arme and is now brought to London wounded to the great grief of Sir William Waller who had rather have lost his right hand you see all true affected Persons are willing to loose their lives for the Parliament Her heare that the Earle of Manchester is raising creat many foot in the Northern associated Counties and that Gainsborough and Newarke and the other Malignant Towns thereabouts will it is hoped be faine stoope to the Command of the Parliament for that the Earle of Manchester who is now at Cambridge will not stay there long but as soon as her hath gotten up her considerable forces her will march that way and shew them what 't is to be so rebellious and malignant against the Parliament And to this purpose he hath already two thousand foot at Lincolne to defend that City from the Popish Enemy and hee hath left his cood Horse which made the Cavalliers so flye before him at Bullingbroke Castle in Lincolnshire at a Towne called Sheford and there te valiant Captaine Cromwell as her know fery well not above twelve miles from Newarke and some of his horse have regained a prize of above three thousand sheep which the Cavalliers had taken and were driving the said Cattell to Newark and they then got all much good doe it their good hearts creat quantity of fine flexe wooll which cood booties put altogether will both feed and cloath them Her bring not all te newes from England Wales or Scotland or from Ireland her hath bin informed with some news from Holland Secretary Nicholas hath written from Oxford and require his Majesties Agent at te Hague to work and indeavour by working with might and with mayne to hinder the comming of the Scots Ambassadours into England and her can con you the reason of it which is that they ferily beleive that the said Ambassadors will not comply with teyr purposes for they at Oxford will have him to be teir Ambassadour who did negotiate the marriage in England betwixt the Princesse Mary and the young Prince of Orange but the States be wise and know who to send and they will have none for their Ambassadour but those that shall seek the Establishment of the True Religion and see those Delinquents brought to Tryall who for a while did hide their heads in that Countrey from the reach as they thought and the justice of the Parliament The times are doubtfull and dangerous bloody and cruell and why I pray you that were a wise question if well answered some body hath done something and something is come of that which is a Childe that spoke it self a live to crying Warre but now it will not be quieted but will suck the Common-wealth dry of blood and money Let us put this Childe of VVarre to nurse in other Countreys for the Land is weary of the keeping of it it is now three yeeres old and doth doe many unhappy tricks but you must pardon it for it knowes not what it does it will prattle and say it stands alone for the King and Parliament But I wish it might fall and be quiet then should wee all rejoyce The King and Parliament would not strive about the divided Childe of the Common-wealth and your VVelch Mercury would write no more the unhappy tricks of this childish warre which her doth count day by day and are heere set downe in her Diurnall From VVarre much VVine and bad VVomen keep you all well affected Citizens FINIS
